I’m sorry brother

This isn’t how fucking markets work you God damn dweebs. Has nobody in Silicon Valley taken econ 101

I feel for Americans who are stuck there. What else do you want from me? We are watching what is happening and wondering why Americans continue to allow it. We get upset because we think it’s going to become our problem.

We don’t have a lot of sympathy or love list with you guys right now and we have our own to take care of, honestly.

At best you’re a security risk.

We were friends the whole time. We all went to Afghanistan and got our boys killed. Now you directly threaten my country and you don’t think I show enough sympathy and solidarity?

This was supposed to be a pro-sane-americans post but I think I kind of convinced myself Naw, fuck yas

God damn it feels good to be the good guys. Cheers france, we’ll have some eh

That’s what this is, a shot across the bow. 100mm is nothing

I just sort of consider these “after-losses”, they’re the losses that come in the hours and days after a significant loss, the one we know and consider when we lost, “this time”.

We can both reset our clocks now I suppose, but in the end it will never be more accurate than “oh it’s been months” or “I haven’t thought of that in a long time”, “maybe a few years”, “nearly a decade”

So we can keep time from the date of the inciting incident I think

Once again, no. Your assumption is wrong

Just sort of, mental bookmark

I’m sorry brother

The point of learning long division is so you understand it. Once you understand it, THEN you can use the calculator.

Your entire argument is prefaced on the assumption that genAI is something that is actually useful.

The corollary of your luddite point is that EVERY SINGLE TECHNOLOGY is useful and groundbreaking and should be adopted.

That’s obviously not the case, lots of technologies are dead ends or can be accomplished much more efficiently with existing technology.

If genAI is a tool, can you tell me what exactly it is that it does?

I didn’t really say AI bad, though I think it is. But it’s objectively different. A calculator is designed so that when you punch in 2+2 it return 4 every single time, because that’s how it functions.

If you ask AI the same question twice you get 2 answers, different AIs give different responses, different prompts, different people, different geography.

It may be able to consistently regurgitate mostly correct answers to fairly uncontroversial common questions. Things we might call “facts”, things that largely have that information available freely in the world anyway.

As soon as we’re talking about subjectivity, writing essays and supporting arguments etc, you’re taking your life in your hands trusting AI with that kind of answer.

But largely this stuff is besides the point.

Calculators give correct answers.

Dunno about you buddy, but I don’t particularly like following orders eh

Yep. Canada’s tar sands are similar. Low grade tar that can be sold for cheap or upgraded for profit. Either way though even without counting labour standards and wages it costs twice as much to pull it out of the ground and we’ll sell it for half as much

Look I’m with you, but Greenland is not going to make much difference

I mean they literally don’t need to. I’m Canadian. Don’t get me wrong, if it REALLLLY comes to that bullshit which, dear god, is somehow plausible now. A northern port is not going to make the difference for us.

We’re gonna fight em tooth and nail, and hopefully make em work hard for it, but we would be fucked. That would be the difference between us being fucked by Friday or fucked by monday (in a a metaphorical sense of course, you guys can get lost up in some forests for years looking for us)

What. Now that every other human on earth has realized. The UN is allowed to say it now?

How the fuck is Greenland going to help them attack us in a way they can’t already do over the worlds longest demilitarised border
